If no club in your area, start an informal local lunch group. Pick a moderate-price restaurant, such as a pizza place. Ask the manager when business is slowest -- say 2:00 PM on Tuesdays -- so that you can take over several tables and converse without shouting. There may be a room you can reserve at no charge. Select a date a couple of weeks away.

Publicize the lunch via your personal email network -- and post on the appropriate independent HP-related Facebook groups -- which you can join without disclosing personal info: Leading groups.

Repeat every few months. No formal organization required. The lunch group could evolve into a new, informal club like the Houston club: http://www.hprchou.com
